All grown up: In just six months, our Mini-DAX® Futures have made quite a name for themselves!

Our Mini-DAX® Futures are available since 28 October 2015, and they are performing impressively:

  • More than 2.4 million contracts have been traded since launch.
  • The most recent trading record of 47,900 contracts was set on 9 February.
  • A total of 154 Trading Participants, i.e. half of those active in DAX® Futures, trade the Mini-DAX®; 70 have been active since launch.
  • Two new Market-Making programs were introduced on 1 April 2016 to further enhance competitiveness versus CFDs; the bid/ask spread has continually improved since introduction.


This development comes as no surprise. Our Mini-DAX® Futures allow for simplified trading of the DAX®. The contract value of EUR 5 per index point makes up a mere fifth of the DAX® Futures and equals the DAX® Options. And Eurex Clearing guarantees the fulfilment.

The benefits are equally attractive for experienced private investors and small portfolios as well as institutional customers looking for a more precise instrument to hedge their positions. Mini-DAX® Futures are also an ideal choice for new retail customers planning to leave the unregulated CFD market to enter the regulated - and much more transparent - futures market.
